Description
Lam and Gray present in 2024 a case, written in French, of a grave skin infection soon after a kidney transplant. A 66 year old man had the transplant and strong drugs to calm his immune system. The next day he noted a sore, raised purple spot on his right forearm, where he had scraped it a week before.
Drugs for germs did not help, and the sore grew worse over days. A skin sample showed a deep fungal infection, and surgery found dead skin, fat, and muscle. Lab tests named the fungus group. The case warns teams to think of rare fungi early when a skin sore in a transplant patient fails standard care.
